The six new Australian Album Of The Year nominees join six others who were nominated for the award in early November, including Melbourne producer Chet Faker, Brisbane indie-rockers Ball Park Music and Sydney band The Preatures, as well as #1 Dads, Remi and Total Control.

The addition of six new names to the Australian Album Of The Year List follows Friday’s announcement of a brand-new J Award category, the Double J Artist Of The Year prize.

Further nominees for all awards will be announced in the coming weeks, with the winners revealed in Melbourne on Tuesday, 18th November. The J Awards ceremony will be broadcast live on triple j from 5pm. View the second round Australian Album Of The Year nominees alongside the previously announced releases, below.
